Installing xSPINE Back Relief Pad

The xSPINE Back Relief Pad, is designed to more evenly distribute the payload of your steadicam sled or GLINK, distributing the force between the upper, middle, and lower trapezius muscles.
The Back Relief Pad is particularly popular with back-mounted Trinity operators.
Depending on your body type and how you have configured the vest some operators experience too much pressure at different points of the body. Some operators may experience too much pressure on their hips or the nerves at the front of their hips, some on their shoulders, and some may feel the common steadicam strain on their lower back muscles.
The back relief pad can give relief and allow for extra adjustments by adding an extra point of contact.
It’s designed to be added in seconds and it can be adjusted by unlocking the center back screw and sliding it up and down, finding the exact right height for your body size.
The back relief panel is made of carbon fiber and ships with two extra pad layer spacers and a soft 3d mesh foam pad. This allows you to have the correct pressure on your back by adding or removing the spacers.
